@pschwede Yes earlier in the thread I gave up as an easy well known example Genesis. On the surface it appears to be just a casual story about god creating the earth. However when you read it with awareness of Gematria it is immediately apparent that its actually just a ciphered text with the Sepher Yetzera encoded into it. Which of course teaches a very different lesson than the apparent narrative of the text.

This pattern carries on into the new testament but is lost to many because unlike the scholarly approach the jews took with the old testament sadly most christians dont have the same rigor scholarly religious study. Sad really IMO/
